Manual Machinist

We are looking for a hands-on manual machinist to join our fabrication team. This role is focused on short-run, high-precision brass work for our luxury lighting products.

Clausing Engine Lathe — turning brass parts to ±0.001", precision tapping

Bridgeport Mill and Clausing Mill — slotting, drilling, boring, and milling features on brass and bronze

Ability to read shop drawings, interpret GD&T, and use micrometers, calipers, and dial indicators

Safe, careful habits with machines and torches
